in the fact that the mem beers OF the commission
| are conservative men, my,st of them with expert

| force this law not they certain, in few
| months, to know with some dafniteness what is
needed in the way Of federal legislation. When
| they arrive at CONCLUSION, and make it known,
i it is probable that Congress will be willing to
act upon it. Thus far Their has been too much
| ignorance in Congress, and too much insincerity
| and selishness among the railroad managers to
| admit of a reasonable settlement of question
| which, as much as any other now demanding at
tenton. calls for intelligence and candor.-Chi-
